Metal-Free Synthesis of 1,3-Disiloxanediols and Aryl Siloxanols

Abstract

The first example of metal-free oxidative hydrolysis of hydrido-siloxanes is reported. Both base-catalyzed and organocatalytic hydrolysis methods are demonstrated to transform 1,3-dihydrido-disiloxanes into 1,3-disiloxanediols. The first example of a chemoselective silane hydrolysis is demonstrated.
